Mac OS X Server
Xserve is built around cutting-edge 45-nm process technology, so it packs even more power but consumes even less. Running at a maximum 80W per socket across all speeds, Xserve achieves up to twice the performance per watt. With enhanced idle power, processor power consumption drops as low as 4W. An intelligent thermal control system tracks more than a dozen sensors and manages the speed of each fan, optimally cooling the entire system and reducing power noise.
Even the Xserve power supplies are incredibly efficient — exceeding the 80 percent efficiency guidelines in the current ENERGY STAR computer system recommendations. Xserve strikes the ultimate balance of performance and energy efficiency.
